TAMBUNAN -- Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman Sunday launched the month-long Pesta Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) here and directed the Sabah Tourism Board to promote this interior town as the gateway to the rich heritage of the state's heartland.
He said the board should promote the district more aggressively, especially to foreign tourists.
At the same time, the Tambunan District Office and other agencies should cooperate by identifying local attractions that could be developed for tourism, he said at the launching ceremony at the Tambunan tamu (traditional market) ground.
The Pesta Kaamatan, celebrated in May each year by the Kadazandusun and Murut communities, is one of the most important festivals in Sabah.
The Huguan Siou (Paramount Leader) of the Kadazandusuns is Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan who represents Tambunan in the State Assembly.
